WELCOME!You've
probably seen the newspaper ads that "hype" Spinal Decompression
Therapy telling you to call some unknown doctor's office in order to
receive a free report in the mail. We do not believe anyone should have
to do that! This site will give you the complete facts about Spinal
Decompression Therapy.We
also tell you the approximate treatment cost. We do that so you will
be better able to make an informed decision about what you should do for
your condition and because our fees are a fraction of what some other
clinics charge.If you need any additional information, please call our office at:661-322-2875 and ask to speak to either one of us. That's right, we'll talk to you personally in order to help you make the right decision.THANKS FOR VISITING!Jeffrey D. Haynes, D.CFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy?

DTS
Spinal Decompression Therapy is FDA cleared and has a high success rate
for pain associated with herniated or bulging discs...even after failed
surgery. It is a non-surgical, traction based therapy for the relief
of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain. During this procedure, by
cycling through distraction and relaxation phases and by proper
positioning, a spinal disc can be isolated and placed under negative
pressure, causing a vacuum effect within it.

What can this vacuum effect do?

The
vacuum effect accomplishes two things. From a mechanical standpoint,
disc material that has protruded or herniated outside the normal
confines of the disc can be pulled back within the disc by the vacuum
created within the disc. Also, the vacuum within the disc stimulates
growth of blood supply, secondarily stimulating a healing response. This
results in pain reduction and proper healing at the injured site.

What system is used for this purpose?

After
a significant amount of research, the Spinal Decompression Center chose
the Triton® DTS system manufactured by the Chattanooga Group, the
premier manufacturer of physical medicine equipment. More importantly,
our two systems - yes, we have TWO complete systems to avoid patient
wait times - have the brand new 2006 computerized head which is the most
sophisticated and technologically advanced unit in the world. No office
- and we do mean NO OFFICE - has more "state of the art" spinal
decompression systems. In
fact, the new 2006 Triton® head is so revolutionary that it won the
2006 Australian Design Award in the "Medical and Scientific" category.How is Spinal Decompression Therapy different from regular traction?The
award winning Triton® computer is the key. It controls the variations
in the traction pull allowing for spinal decompression and eliminating
muscle guarding that is typical in conventional traction devices. The
preprogrammed patterns for ramping up and down the amount of axial
distraction allows for higher levels of spinal decompression and disc
rehydration.

Who can benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Anyone
who has back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a damaged
disc may be helped by spinal decompression therapy. These conditions
include herniated, protruding or bulging discs, spinal stenosis,
sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves).

Are there medical studies that document the effectiveness of Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Yes!
One study documented by MRI up to 90% reduction of disc herniations in
10 of 14 cases and other studies reported that the majority of ruptured
disc patients achieved "good" to "excellent" results after spinal
decompression therapy.

Are there conditions where Spinal Decompression Therapy is not indicated?

Spinal
decompression therapy is not recommended for pregnant women, patients
who have severe osteoporosis, severe obesity or severe nerve damage.Spinal
surgery with instrumentation (screws, metal plates or "cages") is also
contraindicated. However, spinal decompression therapy after bone
fusion or non-fusion surgery, can be performed.

Are the sessions painful, how many will be needed and what is the cost?

In
almost all cases, the treatments are completely painless. In fact,
some patients fall asleep during the spinal decompression session.The
specific treatment plan will be determined by the doctor after your
examination. Based on current research, the best results have been
achieved utilizing 20 sessions ($85 each) over a 6-week period.Based
on that most common protocol, the total cost of the Triton® DTS
treatments would only be $1,700.00...which is a small fraction of the
$5,000+ amounts that some other doctors are charging.

Do most patients receive therapy and rehabilitative exercises in addition to Spinal Decompression Therapy?
